Harmony Chrongraph

I never had much exposure to VC, but when I saw the Harmony Chronograph in the shop window, I could not resist to put it on my wrist.

Holding it in my hands and wearing on my wrist, I was quite simply mesmerized. It has a very strong presence. While it is elegant, it looks so exclusive that is not a modest watch.

The execution of the movement with the engraved golden bridge is stunning. Not sure how it compares to the finish of a PF or to other high end brands, but the movement is very beautiful.

a very, very attractive offer by Vacheron Constantin in the price range of a PF 5170.

IMO, the cushion shaped case adds the attraction, and the dial with the red pulsometer indications is highly attractive.

The power reserve on the dial does not disturb me. However the power reserved could have been realized on the movement side, which would have been an even more elegant solution from my point of view.

Looking forward to your comments

The power reserve on the dial was a heart breaker detail for me. Too bad.

Fro the rest, nice watch, but this bloody power reserve just killed the watch, for me. Best, Nicolas

It is a very nice novelty from VC

Great Photoreport of yours. I fact, I like the Harmony dual time as well. Of course less exclusive, but also smaller and less "loud" than the Chronograph so to speak. Do you have any shots of the Harmony dual time movement? What movement are they using on...

Here is a review I made recently on the VC Dual Time

www.watchprosite.com You'll see the movement is less impressive, though it is still nice looking. So I agree with you Stefan that the Chrono is more interesting! Cheers, Mark

...the Chrono. The movement is nice, but can of course not compare to the chronograph. Thanks for the nice review. I start to really appreciate VC - it was simply ignorance on my behalf in he past - and shall to follow the VC forum more regularly! Best St...

VC is underestimated and provides very nice design and beautiful finishing. What they have to continue developing are there new movements.

You are right in comparing this piece with the 5170. If my memory serves me right, PP reduced its prices across the board around April/May and VC hastily adjusted the price of the Harmony line downwards. Luckily, I got mine at around that time. PP subsequ...
